Description Konrad Bernlöhr 2021-10-27 15:47:49 CEST

Tab completion for remote files/directories with 'scp' used to work with Mageia 7 but no longer with Mageia 8. 

Example:
  scp user@host:/tm<TAB>
should complete to
  scp user@host:/tmp/
if password-less login to user@host is allowed.

Responsible file is

/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ssh

Replacing that with either the version from Mageia 7 (as a work-around) or the current version from upstream at 

https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/commits/master/completions/ssh

as the proper solution fixes the problem.

Actual location of upstream file:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scop/bash-completion/master/completions/ssh

but I think the previous link shows its history.

Thank you for the precise report, and the very helpful links.

'bash-completion' has no consistent maintainer, so assigning this bug globally.
